The white gene is located on the x chromosome and the cream gene is located on an autosome. bridges reached this conclusion from the result of a mating between red-eyed females (ccaxw+xw-e) and red-eyed males (ccaxw+y). what would have been the outcome of this mating if white and cream were still different genes but both were located on the x chromosome? hint: the female genotype is xw+ c xw-e ca and the male genotype is xw+ c y.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
